   oh, that's not even the tip of the iceberg.
   
   what ultimately makes it unusable is that tulsa transit does not even pick people up on time. sometimes, frequently, they pass people who are waiting to be picked up, and you have to wait for the next bus (which may be as long as an hour away).
   
   accordingly, you have to plan to leave 2 hours ahead of when you need to actually arrive anywhere to have sufficient buffer for the lack of dependability.
   
   compared to a car, or hell, even uber / lyft / whatever.

      @kaniini @animeirl @elizafox @bhtooefr @kaniini I've found that public transport is already very busy and used over here. We still have a problem with the cars/traffic. I don't think public transport is going to help us. Plus like you say, you are stuck on their timetable, and even that isn't reliable where I am. Then they have so many confusing rules for the trains, for instance. We got an off-peak ticket not long ago, only to find that it was invalid around 12pm. We weren't in rush hour traffic, and yet... I didn't see anything about it until we got to the station.
      
      
      Plus I have social anxiety... so whenever I do use public transport it is always stressful. It gets overcrowded, stuffy, and I just want to leave. It's very scary and debilitating. I barely go anywhere. A car would give me more freedom from this.
